Syntheses,Structures and Luminescence Sensing Properties of Two Cd(II) MOFs Constructed from Mixed Ligands

Hydrothermally reaction of Cd(NO₃)₂·4H₂O, pimelic acid (H₂Pim) mixed with two N-containing ligands of 1,2-bis(2-methyl-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (1,2-mbix) or 1,3-bis(2-methyl-imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (1,3-mbix) gave rise to two new Cd(II) MOFs, [Cd(Pim)(1,2-mbix)] (1) and [Cd(Pim)(1,3-mbix)]·H₂O (2). Both MOFs were structurally characterized by IR and UV–Vis spectra, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analyses. MOF 1 shows a fourfold interpenetrating dia network. Differently, MOF 2 shows a 2D?→?3D interdigitated architecture base on the 6³ hcb layer when 1,2-mbix was replaced by 1,3-mbix. The luminescent properties of 1 and 2 have been investigated. Furthermore, the luminescent quenching experiments suggest both MOFs exhibit good selectivity and sensitivity to detect Fe³⁺ and Cr₂O₇^2? in water.

     

Reactions of bis(tetrazole)phenylenes. Surprising formation of vinyl compounds from alkyl halides

The reactions of 1,2-bis(tetrazol-5-yl)benzene (1), 1,3-bis(tetrazol-5-yl)benzene (2), 1,4-bis(tetrazol-5-yl)benzene (3), 1,2-(Bu₃SnN₄C)₂C₆H₄ (4), 1,3-(Bu₃SnN₄C)₂C₆H₄ (5) and 1,4-(Bu₃SnN₄C)₂C₆H₄ (6) with 1,2-dibromoethane were carried out by two different methods in order to synthesise pendant alkyl halide derivatives of the parent bis-tetrazoles. This lead to the formation of several alkyl halide derivatives, substituted at either N1 or N2 on the tetrazole ring, as well as the surprising formation of several vinyl derivatives. The crystal structures of both 1,2-[(2-vinyl)tetrazol-5-yl)]benzene (1-N,2-N′) (1b) and 1,3-bis[(2-bromoethyl)tetrazol-5-yl]benzene (2-N,2-N′) (5d) are discussed.     

Synthesis of Phthalic Aldehyde and Its Diacetals

Acyclic phthalaldehyde diacetal without cyclic 1,3-dihydro-1,3-dimethoxybenzo[c]furan impurity has been obtained via the reaction of 1,2-bis(dibromomethyl)benzene with trimethyl orthoformate (1:6) at 90°C in the presence of 10 mol% of ZnCl₂. Hydrolysis of phthalaldehyde diacetal has led to the formation of phthalaldehyde without HBr evolution. The reaction of phthalaldehyde with trimethyl orthoformate in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid has proceeded abnormally, with the formation of the cyclic diacetal. The acyclic diacetal has been phosphorylated by chlorophosphines and the action of PCl₃ and a P(III) acid ester in sequence.

A series of basket-shaped hosts with ester-crown handles have been synthesized by treating oligoethylene glycol bischloroacetates [ClCH₂CO(OCH₂CH₂) _n OCOCH₂Cl, n = 1, 2, 3, 4] and 1,2-bis(hydroxyethoxy)benzene bischloroacetates with a diphenylglycoluril-based molecular clip, 1,3:4,6-bis(3,6-dihydroxy-1,2-xylylene)tetrahydro-3a,6a-diphenylimidazo[5,5]imidazole-2,5(1H, 3H)-dione (1), in dimethyl sulfoxide using K₂CO₃ as a base in yields of 15, 35, 40, 38, and 20%. Their structures were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrum. The reaction conditions were also studied and optimized.

Synthesis and properties of z-1,3-bis-(aryl)-4-bromo-2-buten-1-ones

Bromination of 1,3-bis(aryl)-2-buten-1-ones by N-bromosuccinimide in anhydrous carbon tetrachloride gives Z-1,3-bis(aryl)-4-bromo-2-buten-1-ones. The effect of the nature of substituent in the benzene ring on the course of a reaction with nucleophiles has been studied. Heating an alcohol solution of these ketones (Ar = 4-MeOC₆H₄, 4-ClC₆H₄) in the presence of acid or in the presence of base (Ar = Ph) gave 2,4-bis(aryl)furans. Treatment of 1,3-bis(aryl)-4-bromo-2-buten-1-ones with thioacetamide gave 2,4-bis(aryl)thiophenes. The oxidation of the halo-substituted dypnones with H₂O₂/NaOH gave (3-bromomethyl-3-aryl-2-oxiranyl)(aryl)methanones. The reaction of halo-substituted dypnones with aryl hydrazines gave 1,3,5-triaryl-1,6-dihydropyridazines or 1,3,5-triarylpyridazinium bromides depending on the structure of the reagents.     

One-pot electrosynthesis of 2,3-bis(spiro-2-indanyl-1,3-dione)-indeno[1,2-b]furan-4-one

The 2,3-bis(spiro-2-indanyl-1,3-dione)-indeno[1,2-b]furan-4-one has been synthesized by cathodic reduction of 2,2-dibromo-1,3-indandione in dichloromethane-Bu₄NBF₄. In contrast, tris-indanedione was the main product when acetonitrile was used as a solvent. Sunlight exposition of the dispiro compound afforded the tris-indandione in quantitative yield.     

Dibromomethyl- and bromomethyl- or bromo-substituted benzenes and naphthalenes: C—Br…Br interactions

The structures of six benzene and three naphthalene derivatives involving bromo, bromomethyl and dibromomethyl substituents, namely, 1,3-dibromo-5-(dibromomethyl)benzene, C₇H₄Br₄, 1,4-dibromo-2,5-bis(bromomethyl)benzene, C₈H₄Br₆, 1,4-dibromo-2-(dibromomethyl)benzene, C₇H₄Br₄, 1,2-bis(dibromomethyl)benzene, C₈H₆Br₄, 1-(bromomethyl)-2-(dibromomethyl)benzene, C₈H₇Br₃, 2-(bromomethyl)-3-(dibromomethyl)naphthalene, C₁₂H₉Br₃, 2,3-bis(dibromomethyl)naphthalene, C₁₂H₈Br₄, 1-(bromomethyl)-2-(dibromomethyl)naphthalene, C₁₂H₉Br₃, and 1,3-bis(dibromomethyl)benzene, C₈H₆Br₄, are presented. The packing patterns of these compounds are dominated by Br…Br contacts and C—H…Br hydrogen bonds. The Br…Br contacts, shorter than twice the van der Waals radius of bromine (3.7 Å), seem to play a crucial role in the crystal packing of all these compounds. The occurrence of Type I and Type II interactions is also discussed briefly, considering the effective atomic radius of bromine, as is their impact on the packing of molecules in the individual structures.     

Bis(alkoxycarbonyl) complexes of platinum: preparation,reactivity and their role in carbonylation reactions

bis(alkoxycarbonyl) complexes of platinum of the type [Pt(COOR)₂L] [L = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), l,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb), 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) or 1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)benzene (dpb); R = CH₃, C₆H₅ or C₂H₅] were obtained by reaction of [PtCl₂L] with carbon monoxide and alkoxides. Palladium and nickel complexes gave only carbonyl complexes of the type [M(CO)L] or [M(CO)₂L]. The new complexes were characterized by chemical and spectroscopic means. The X-ray structure of [Pt(COOCH₃)₂(dppf] · CH₃OH is also reported. The reactivity of some alkoxycarbonyl complexes was also investigated.     

Coordination polymers derived from gallium and zinc metal–metal bonded species

The reaction of (dpp-bian)Ga–Zn(dpp-bian) (dpp-bian is 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) with 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane results in 1D coordination polymer [(dpp-bian)Ga–Zn(dpp-bian)(μ²-1,3-Py₂(CH₂)₃)]_n with the retained Ga–Zn bond. In contrast, the coordination of 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane to Zn atoms in the (dpp-bian)Zn–Zn(dpp-bian) complex induces the cleavage of the Zn–Zn bond which is accompanied by reduction of dpp-bian radical anions to dianions. The reaction product represents 1D coordination polymer [{(dpp-bian)Zn}(μ²-1,3-Py₂(CH₂)₃)]_n.     

A Direct Assembly Approach to the Synthesis of N,N′-Bridged Calix[4]pyrroles: The Synthesis of a 1,5-Diazacyclononatriene Locked in a Saddle Conformation

Ring closure of 1,2-bis(1-pyrrolylmethyl)benzene in the acid-catalysed condensation with acetone yields the 1,5-diazacyclononatriene [ O -C₆H₄(CH₂NC₄H₃-2)₂C(CH₃)₂] as the sole identifiable product. The twisted or saddle conformation of the 1,5-diazacyclononatriene, which was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure determination, is conformationally rigid in solution. The conformation of the 1,5-diazacyclononatriene prevents the formation of the target N,N′-bridged calix[4]pyrrole by further acid-catalysed condensation with acetone, the reaction affording unidentified oligomers/polymers instead. The acid-catalysed condensation of 1,3- and 1,4-bis(1-pyrrolylmethyl)benzene with acetone also yields unidentified oligomers/polymers.     

Novel 3,3′-(alkanediyl)bis-(2,2,2-triaryl-1-oxa-2-stiba-3-azabenzo[d]cyclohex-5-enes)

The hitherto unreported compounds of general structure 3,3′-(alkanediyl)bis-(2,2,2-triaryl-1-oxa-2-stiba-3-azabenzo[d]cyclohex-5-ene) have been synthesized in 48-56% yields by the cyclization of the tetrasodium salt of N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2-diaminoethane(II) or of N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,3-diaminopropane(II*) with R₃SbBr₂ (R = phenyl, p-tolyl, or mesityl). The tetrasodium salts were prepared by the reactions of the corresponding amines with sodium hydride. The amines (II and II*), in turn, were obtained by the sodium borohydride reduction of N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-diaminoethane and N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-1,3,-diaminopropane, respectively. The heterocyclic compounds are air stable and moisture insensitive. These compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, and by IR, far IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectral studies. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Cu(I) complexes with 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (dppB) and perfluorinated carboxylates of the general formula [Cu(diphosphine)₂](RCOO), R=C₂F₅, C₄F₉, C₆F₁₃, C₈F₁₇, C₉F₁₉, have been prepared and characterized with MS, IR and ¹H, ³¹P, ¹³C, ¹⁹F, ⁶³Cu NMR spectroscopy. The presence of distinct bis-chelated cations of [Cu(diphosphine)₂]⁺ type and uncoordinated carboxylate anions has been proposed.

Reactions of methyl chloro(phenyl)pyruvate with 1,3-bis(phenylthioureido)benzene easily afforded 1,3-bis(4-hydroxy-4-methoxycarbonyl-3,5-diphenylthiazolidin-2-ylideneamino)benzene. Reactions of the latter with 1,2-phenylenediamines gave various derivatives of thiazolo[3,4-a]quinoxalines, including their bisanalogs. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thermal decomposition of 1,2 butadiene

The thermal decomposition of 1,2 butadiene has been studied behind reflected shock waves over the temperature and total pressure ranges of 1300–2000 K and 0.20–0.55 atm using mixtures of 3% and 4.3% 1,2 butadiene in Ne. The major products of the pyrolysis are C₂H₂, C₄H₂, C₂H₄, CH₄ and C₆H₆. Toluene was observed as a minor product in a narrow temperature range of 1500–1700 K. In order to model successfully the product profiles which were obtained by time-of-flight mass spectrometry, it was necessary to include the isomerization reaction of 1,2 to 1,3 butadiene. A reaction mechanism consisting of 74 reaction steps and 28 species was formulated to model the time and temperature dependence of major products obtained during the course of decomposition. The importance of C₃H₃ in the formation of benzene is demonstrated.     

Synthesis of aromatic polyethers by Scholl reaction. V. Synthesis and polymerization of 1,3-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) benzoyl]benzene, 1,4-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy)benzoyl]benzene,bis[4-(1-naphthoxy)phenyl]methane, 1,3-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) phenylmethyl]benzene,and 1,4-bis-[4-(1-naphthoxy)phenylmethyl]benzene

This article describes the synthesis and the cation-radical polymerization (Scholl reaction) of 1,3-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) benzoyl] benzene ( 6 ) and 1,4-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) benzoyl]- benzene ( 7 ) initiated by FeCI₃. This polymerization produced poly(ether ether ketone ketone)s (PEEKK) of number average molecular weight (M?_n) up to 5400 g/mol. The synthesis of bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) phenyl] methane ( 8 ), 1,3-bis[4-(1-napthoxy) phenylmethyl] benzene ( 9 ), and 1,4-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) phenylmethyl] benzene ( 10 ) are also described. Polyethers of M?_n up to 15400 g/mol at a FeCl₃/monomer molar ratio of 2/1 were obtained. An increased polymerizability of the monomers 9 and 10 containing two CH₂ groups versus that of the corresponding monomers containing two carbonyl groups ( 6 and 7 ) was observed. This enhanced polymerizability was explained based on the increased nucleophilicity of monomers 9 and 10 .     

Diastereoselective cycloaddition of chiral 1-acryloyl-2-imidazolidinone and o-quinodimethane generated by reduction of 1,2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene with zinc

The distances Tl? N range from 228 to 244 pm.     

Synthesis and properties of aromatic polyamides derived from 1,2-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene and aromatic dicarboxylic acids

1,2-Bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene was synthesized in two steps by the preparation of 1,2-bis(4-itrophenoxy)benzene from 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (catechol) and p-chloronitrobenzene and subsequent reduction with a 10% Pd-C catalyst and hydrazine hydrate. Aromatic polyamides with an inherent viscosity in the range of 1.08–2.00 dL/g were prepared by the direct polycondensation of this diamine with various aromatic dicarboxylic acids in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents. Most of the polymers formed were soluble in aprotic solvents such as NMP and N,N-methylacetamide (DMAc), and afforded transparent, flexible, and tough films upon casting from DMAc solutions. Most of the cast films showed obvious yield points in their stress-strain curves and had tensile strength among 64–89 MPa, elongation at break among 5–23%, and initial modulus in 1.7–2.5 GPa. The glass transition temperatures (T_g) of these polymers were in the range of 207–278°C, and the 10% weight loss temperatures were recorded above 475°C in nitrogen and above 452°C in air. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Four Novel 30-Membered Imine and Amine Macrocycles Derived from Ortho-Aminophenyl Diamines

Two novel macrocyclic tetra-imine-diphenol Schiff base (H₂L₁ and H₂L₂) were synthesized by [2 + 2] cyclocondensation of ortho-aminophenyl diamines [1,2-bis(2′-aminophenoxy)benzene (I) and 1,2-bis(2′-aminophenoxy)-4-t-butylbenzene (II)] with 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol. Two novel tetra-amine-diphenol macrocycles (H₂L₃ and H₂L₄) have been obtained by reduction of the imine analogs with NaBH₄ in MeOH/CHCl₃.
